About AURKC

Cytogenetic location: 19q13.43 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 19:57,231,023-57,235,548 (from NCBI)

This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 99 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Biased expression in testis (RPKM 14.8), brain (RPKM 1.0) and 1 other tissue.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the Aurora subfamily of serine/threonine protein kinases. The encoded protein is a chromosomal passenger protein that forms complexes with Aurora-B and inner centromere proteins and may play a role in organizing microtubules in relation to centrosome/spindle function during mitosis. This gene is overexpressed in several Cancer cell lines, suggesting an involvement in oncogenic signal transduction. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
